McMEEKIN. Sporting- Editor. Tho Courier-Journal. Cambridge, Oct. 21.

Ground irt the dust of the Stadium today were Kentucky's fond hopes of football iu. prcmacy. Harvard's mighty gridiron machine, thrown in high In the first quarter, steadily moved down the Held crushing beneath its prow aspirations that had been nurtured in the home country alnce last winter' snows gave way to bluegrass. Thrice in the opening period the Crimson juggernaut rolled to the goal posts, but there Harvard's excellence terminated. Just as the first quarter closed the Colonels found themselves.

They advanced steadily with the opening of the second period until, temporarily halted, Covington drop-kicked goal. This feat was matched by Pfaf fman's toe in the same quarter, but thereafter Centre was the master. A touchdown by the Kentuckians In the final period brought the count to 24 to 10, and such it was when the last whistle sounded. Breaks Favor Crimson. Perhaps it was stage fright, or perchance merely the breaks of the gamti that gave Harvard a lead, not meritea strength.

Centre fumbles lent such Impetus to the initial drive of the Crimson that for' the time it seemed that Moran's men would be crushed. Those who had witnessed the prevlom Harvard-Centre battles thought of "Bo" McMillin. A Crimson touchdown in the first few minutes, then another and another, would not have occurred had Bo been in the lineup, they reasoned. It was' another Waterloo for want of the missing horseshoe nail. "If it hadn't been for that first quarter," i3 Centre's righteous complaint tonight.

In that period swift retribution was administered for Centre misdeeds. Gehrke kicked off back of the goal line and Centra put the ball into play on Its twenty-yard Una. Snowday made a slhjht gain on the first down, and then criss-cross, Covington to Snowday, was attempted, Snowday fumbled and the ball rolled to the Centre five-yard line wher Fitts recovered for Harvard. On the next play, Harvard's first rush of the game, Owen went over for a touchdown and Buell dropped kick goal in the try for point. Forward Pass Intercepted With the 7-0 against them befors they hardly had drawn breath.

Centre still held resolutely to its Intentions. Roberts kicked off to Buell who made a nice return, and on the next play Chapin fumbled. Kubal recovered the ball and it was Centre' on the Harvard forty-two yard line. Three plays, Roberts and Covington carrying the ball, produced first down. Covington gained two more and then Gehrke intercepteed a forward pass.

It was the Crimson's ball on its own twenty-yard line. Owen plunged through the line for four yards and Chapin made It first down. After two short gains by Gehrke and Chapin, Gehrke punted sixty-five yards to the Centre goal line. Tide Turns to Centre. Then the tide Football prowess of a sort that lias caused all Kentucky to veer to Centre in proud acclaim was provided the more than 50,000 person's who thronged tho stadium.

This little college team of Boyle county during the last three periods outplayed the representative of one of the greatest of American universities. Around and through th ranks of the sapient Easterners wended the little band of Kentuckians. Harvard's assurance of an overwhelming victory was dispelled before the first half was over. The strength of the Centre line and the power of the Centre attack destroyed Harvard's illusions that it met an inferior foe. This determined stand of the Colonels for a hopeless cause won the hearts of those in the Stadium.

Centre might well have been playing before a horn crowd. Their achievement was cheered to the utmost and at the end of th cdhtest one unfamiliar with the happenings of the day would have imagined that it was a Harvard defeat such was the absence of gloating. In the cruel impact of brawn against brawn Centre did not suffer. In the first half both teams held to tho steady shock with lltle damage. But in the second half the gruelling began to tell and it was Harvard that reeled.

True, Lemon, Kubalc and Shadoan were battered and torn, but they knew that "Uncle Charlie" lacked capable substitutes for their positions and they held to their task. Snowday a severely injured hip at the start of the second halt forced him to give way to Thomasson and Tanner supplanted the latter. Harvard substitutions were in evidence throughout. Coach Fisher made the most ot his vast resources. In the first period he recalled Owen from a victory won to husband him' for future conquest.

But when Centre swept to the fore he time and again sent in a fresh man to relieve a reeling brother. Despite this handicap in reserve strength the battered Kentuckians maintained their power. The chief weapon in the Centre, attack was a formation that never" fce- (Continued oil Page 9, Column 1.)

111., Oct. 21 (Associated Press). International co-operation to prevent war and a sound basis for agriculture are among the biggest problems confronting the nation, William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, declared here tonight in a Democratic campaign address. He charged that the Republican Administration had destroyed prosperity and attacked the Fordney-McCumber tariff bill.

"It is estimated that the cost of Jiving to the American people will be increased by the Fordney-McCumber bill 54JOOO.000.000 per annum, of which only $400,000,000 will go into the Federal treasury," he said. The speaker charged that the fram-crs of the bill purposed to destroy American foreign trade and keep the American markets for monopolists, declaring that destruction or restriction of foreign trade "does direct and irreparable injury to the American farmer and worklngman. "With his foreign market cut off," Mr. McAdoo said, "the farmer must dump his surplus on the home market at ruinous prices." Similarly, with foreign markets restricted, manufacturers do not work to capacity and the workingman is affected, he said. "International co-operation must be substituted for national isolation," the speaker declared, and every effort must be made to reopen the preserve for ourselves access to the European markets and to the entire world.

"Unless some intelligent plan for preserving peace in the world is finally secured. America will bo constantly menaced by the possibility of new European wars, which may involve us more seriously than the war of 1917.

By Leased Wire to Tho Courier-Journal. New York, Oct. 19. Chief of Police Long, of Newark, N. Is considering the resignation of Patrolman William Seidler, rookie who went on duty for the first time tonight and reported more than two hours late because he lost his way to the Station House.

Seidler lives on Barclay Street. When he started for the Station House in his new uniform he took a northbound Bergen Street car instead of going south. Captain Harris assigned Seidler to a different beat than that originally selected for him and which was well so that, Harris, said, Seidler would not again lose his way. Seidler got disgusted and tendered his resignation, which he insisted Chief Long accept. Proud Mother of Pups Calls Police to View Progeny By Leased Wire to The Courier-Journal.

Gorsllne, who was examined in his home by Prosecutor Beekman, was reported to have accompanied a young woman home from the T. M. C. A. on the night of the murder.

"Whether, in so doing, he chanced on knowledge of the crime, cither in passing the scene of the murder or. elsewhere, was not learned. Timothy N. Pfeiffer, counsel for Mrs. Hall, made known the nature of the examination of Barbara Tough, a maid in the Hall home, who was ex amined today.

The maid denied, he said, that Mrs. Hall had told her of the minister's death before the finding of the bodies was announced. It had been reported that Mrs. Hall asked her maid to wash some white socks an hour before the murders became known, saying "Mr. Hall Is dead, and he will need Had Premonition of Death.

By Leased Wire to The Courier-Journal. New York, Oct. 21. Many hours before the bodies of the Rev. Edward Wheeler Hail and his choir leader and sweetheart, Mrs.

Eleanor Mills, were found beneath the crabapple tree near New Brunswick. N. five weeks ago, Hall, the clergyman's widow, twice expressed the belief that ner husband was dead. Tms is one of the number of new disclosures' un derstood to have been developed by the Middlesex and Somerset Counto' authorities today when they re-ex amined Miss Barbara Tough, for ten years a maid in the Hall' irior to the marriage of Mr. and Mrs.

Hall, a servant in the Stevens family, ot which Mrs. Hall was a member. Miss Tough, brought to the Middle sex County Court House at 11 o'clock this morning, was questioned more than two hours. From a dependable authority it was learned she con firmed a narrative previously related to the authorities concerning several conversations which took place in the Hall home between the disappearance of the clergyman Thursday evening, September 14. and the discovery ot his body pn the Phillips farm the following Saturday, September 16.

Conversation Is Related. One of the conversations, it was said, was between Mrs. Hall and her eccentric brother, Willie Stevens, and took place Friday night, twenty-four hours after Mr. Hall's disappearance. This talk is reported to have been as follows: Willie StevensAre you going to bed now, Frances, or are you going to wait up for Edward? Mrs.

Hail No, I'm going to bed. I know he must be dead. If he was not he would come home. Early next morning Mrs. Hall, according to the reported account given the authorities by Miss Tough, brought downstairs a pair of white hose from Mr.

Hall's bedroom. Handing them to the domestic she said: "Barbara, you better wash these out so they will be ready. I know Dr. Hall must be dead. The re-examination of the servant was the only visible activity of the official investigators of tho muruer mystery today, although there were grounds for believing that an intensive and widespread effort was being made to clear up still questionable points in the hope of presenting the rase to the Somerset County grand jury at Somerville Monday.

More than 10,000 Kentucky and Tennessee farmers today attended meetings ot the Dark Tobacco Growers' Co-operative Association at various points in the two States," and contracts for a total of 2,000 acres of leaf were signed. Enthusiastic receptions were given the speakers everywhere, and it is be lieved assured now that a 75 per cent sign-up will be obtained by October 28, the final day of the campaign. The biggest demonstrations occurred at Dixon, Webster County, Kentucky, where Aaron Saplro addressed an audience of 800 growers, and at Springfield, where Judge Robert W. Bingham spoke. Following the Springfield meeting 750 acres were pledged.

Mr. Sapiro stressed the fact that the books of the association will be closed next Saturday, and that no members will be admitted after that time. He explained the contract and cited the successful formation of other pools in all parts of the United States. At the close ot the meeting fifty farmers pledged a. total of 175 acres of tobacco.
